Condition: Neu. Competing Images and Conflicting Narratives. The antebellum period was a time of intensive American cultural production during which a genuine American national and cultural identity was produced. The American Revolution was the "natural" starting point for this process of cultural re-imagination. This book investigates the contribution of images about the American Revolution to the formation of an American historical and cultural memory. Visual representations of American Revolutionary figures and events in popular history paintings, lithographs, pictorial histories, and illustrated magazines from the 1830s to the 1850s have created a visual archive that was seminal in the Americans' establishment of a "usable past". As sites of memory, these visuals helped to define the American nation, often stabilizing larger unifying national narratives, but sometimes also contesting historical and cultural memories within the storehouse of visual commemoration. 337 Seiten mit 92 Abb., gebunden (American Studies - A Monograph Series; Vol. 186/Universitätsverlag Winter 2010).

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. America has been hailed as the land of personal freedom, where the rights of the single citizen reign over the demands and expectations of the masses. Yet freedom of choice and the premium placed on private property also necessitated a counter force, a submission to authority, and pre-established patterns of behavior. And it led to a highly ambivalent notion of privacy, as an individual right situated between apparent opposites - private freedom and public order, liberalism and authoritarianism, (individual) autonomy and (communal) collectivity.'Cultures of Privacy - Paradigms, Transformations, Contestations' addresses the nation's struggles to harmonize these opposites, to reconcile the private and the public, both in a historical and comparative, transnational perspective. Individual contributions take issue with the staggering transformations of the public/private dichotomy, with the alleged erosion of privacy in the political arena, the "right to be let alone" in US legal culture, and the ambiguous hyperemphasis on the private in the media and in popular and literary culture (as in confessional blogs, social networks, and memoirs).

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Undoubtedly, the American Revolution is the founding moment of the United States of America. However, it also had major repercussions outside the U.S., as an inspiration for independence and social movements, for state- and nation-building. The contributions in this anthology draw from research in history, history of law, political science, art history, literary and cultural studies to assess the representations and uses of the American Revolution across the last 250 years. The first of four thematic trajectories explores the historiographical narratives produced within and outside the borders of the U.S. The second deals with political and constitutional narratives on the American Revolution and how they were used during the Italian Risorgimento, the 'Vormärz' or the Revolution of 1848. The third trajectory is about the rejection of the American Revolution, about loyalists and conservatives in Europe and the Atlantic World. The fourth axis focuses on the relationship between visual/stage representations and cultural/historical memory. All contributions show how actors remember and as such construct the American Revolution by means of visual, textual, performative, and musical representations and how they connect their representations of this past event to their present-day collective experiences, claims and actions. 331 pp. Englisch.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback, viii + 225 pages, NOT ex-library. Gentle handling wear. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Spine free of vertical creases. -- Native American cultures have always succeeded to varying degrees in negotiating a balance between their tribal cultural heritage and the 'dominant culture.' In the present study, the meeting between these cultures is not interpreted as a clash, but as a cultural encounter in a contact zone. The concept of transculturation serves as a theoretical model to analyze how history and culture are fictionally constructed in contemporary American Indian literature. Developing a dynamic, dialogic, and reciprocal relationship between their native worldviews and literary techniques, on the one hand, and those of the larger society, on the other, the writers examined in this study stress the processual nature of culture. -- Contents: 1.
